PIP
Workplace improvement document
Pip has several unrelated meanings.
A pip is a small seed inside fruit like apples or oranges.
In cards or dice, pips are the small symbols showing value—the dots on dice or the spades and hearts on playing cards.
A pip is also a short, high-pitched sound, especially in British radio time signals.
In British slang, to pip someone is to narrowly defeat them: She pipped him at the post.
In workplace jargon, PIP is a performance improvement plan—a formal warning that an employee's job is at risk.
